boxofcomfits | Entries tagged with prompts of the fortnight

{Meh. I really don't much feel like going through & gathering things for a Fortnight Post, but I've rather been putting this off since Saturday. (Also, half of this is technically a fortnight late as my last prompt post was at the beginning of last month ...) I might just do the

charlofty bits first & finish tomorrow .... }

At

charloft:

{Wednesday graphics} ~ St Valentine's Day box (9 February)

{Saturday} ~ Love Songs (14 February; technically, it's all fanvids ^_^)

{Twosday} ~ Mountains vs Molehills (25 February; prompt from 8 February)

{Saturday} ~ Ballads (26 February)

{Wednesday graphics} ~ Impossible (6 March)

Museboxes {

thehouseofmouse}:

Valentine's Day! (14 February) In which Alice & the Hatter discuss chocolate- and tea-pots, then share a dance in the kitchen (in Part B of the thread, Alice discusses personal remarks/compliments with the Cheshire Cat). {<3}

Also, the Dormouse now has her own journal! I eventually decided on

atreaclewell (Treacly Dreams ended up as the title). ^_^

Current Mood: sleepy
Current Music: "Taking Chances" ~Glee Cast

{And it's actually on time for once, hurrah! Also, gratuitously using my newest icon—I've had it on my computer for a while, but needed proper keywords so it hadn't been uploaded yet. ^_^ }

At

charloft:

{Sunday RP} ~ Questions (30 January; In which ravens & writing-desks are discussed)

{Saturday} ~ Epigraphy (31 January; prompt from 31 July)

{Friday} ~ Christmas gift list (1 February; prompt from 26 November)

Winter Bingo Challenge (at

charloft; Prompt Card):

O4 ~ Humbug (31 January; Yes, most of these are two-prompts-with-one-piece)

O2 ~ Mummers (31 January)

O5 ~ Generosity (1 February; I also have a prose piece in the works for this prompt—but I needed to post something more quickly, so I used the list first)

Hurrah, I accomplished Winter Bingo! ^_^

At

dear_mun:

It's not so bad, really, if you just take it all with a pinch of salt. (27 January, reply to

hisrunnings) {Hurrah, another Doctor!}

(Also, I can hardly believe it's been since November that I last had a

dear_mun thread.)

Museboxes {

thehouseofmouse}:

You have got to be kidding! (4 February) In which Alice assists Sheriff Pride in a precarious position.

A china teapot has mysteriously appeared on one of the tables (26 January) In which the Dormouse appears & has storytime with the Hatter (Also, I gain another muse). (Event in progress)

Yes, I now have a Dormouse muse. ( In which I ramble on )

In other news, I shall have to do a bit of research in the near future: I've both a wedding (Lorina's) & a coming-out/presentation (Alice's) to plan (or at least touch on in prompts/RP) for June.

Current Mood: thoughtful
Current Music: "Lord Melbourne" ~Ilan Eshkeri

{again. ::is sheepish::

I haven't been very active of late—this wasn't much helped by my hours at work starting at seven now (instead of nine as before). I've been a week at my new schedule, however, so hopefully I'll begin to get used to it (and there will be more threading/prompt response answering). ^_^ }

At

charloft:

{Saturday} ~ Story of my life (Take II) (3 January; prompt from 19 March)

{Twosday} ~ New Year, new you (5 January)

{Thursday drabbleprompt} ~ Cheese (7 January ... and not a drabble at all)

{Wednesday graphics} ~ A solitary tree (24 January, prompt from 11 January)

(And several brief conversations-on-posts with

8butterflyboy8!)

~~(Will be edited to add the rest after tellytiem!)~~

Winter Bingo Challenge (at

charloft; Prompt Card):

O3 ~ Baking (7 January; Yes, I'm counting these twice)

O1 ~ Solitude (24 January)

I've three more pieces to go to achieve my first bingo. I'd been thinking of writing something about the Liddell's tradition of reading A Christmas Carol in turns on the nights leading up to Christmas—and when I was linking my Solitude piece I realised I actually have "humbug" as one of my prompts! (And the "generosity" prompt will work quite well for the Alice's-gifts-for-her-friends prose piece [of possible epicness] I've been meaning to write since, oh, November.)

At

sixwordstories:

January is apparently Hot Tea Month! (9 January, Alice's post!)

(Really must get back into posting/replying on

sixwordstories &

dear_mun)

Miscellaneous (this fortnight post it means "enabling for

6thngsbreakfast"):

musemostwanted: Won't you join the dance? (8 January)

character_rpg: we're all mad here (8 January)

role_play_ads: we're all mad here (9 January; Yes, it's identical to the one above it)

And still no more interest than when I first posted in October. Sadface. (I'm half tempted to pick up the Dormouse myself. However, I've never played more than one character at once—and I doubt I'd be able to play two characters off each other.)

I really don't like asking for plugs, but if any of you know someone who might be interested, would you mind linking them? Thank you. (I've been wanting to get this started for quite a while now, but unfortunately I'm not doing well in that regard on my own.)

Current Mood: a bit sleepy
Current Music: Bedtime Magic on Magic 106.7

Hope everyone is having a happy holiday season! ^_^

I meant to do a spot of RP threading tonight (especially since I have a few scenes going), but I'm getting together with my best friend tomorrow evening & I want to knit at least a portion of her she-already-knows-it's-going-to-be-late Christmas present. As such, I think I'm just going to type up this Festive Fortnight Post & then dash off to knit (also tidying).

At

charloft:

{Wednesday graphics} ~ Decorative (16 December) {This was great fun!}

{Sunday RP} ~ What's THAT Doing There? (27 December, reply to

8butterflyboy8) {thread in progress}

At

charloft_rpg:

Loft Christmas Party / Secret Santa exchange (24 December) In which Alice participates in the Gift Exchange (receiving a Frabjous gift bag) and makes ornaments—and perhaps new friends (threads in progress)!

Museboxes:

thehouseofmouse: Snowed in The House of Mouse! (29 December) In which Alice attends another Christmas Party. (Event in progress) **

Hmm, I thought I had more than that. Perhaps it's because I have more threading activity this fortnight that prompty things?

I also have an Alice's-gifts-for-her-friends prose piece that needs to be written .... (Also, I will be posting an advert for

6thngsbreakfast on

character_rpg & possibly

role_play_ads sometime this week.)

** Yes, this should technically be in the next Fortnight post—but it's a Christmas Party post! As such, I'm adding it to this Festive Fortnight post. (And I've probably overused "festive" a bit, hee.)

Current Mood: festive
Current Music: Festive Playlist!

Much more activity this fortnight! Oddly enough, however, I have nothing in the way of

dear_mun or

sixwordstories ... but an added huzzah for reaching the halfway point in the 100 Drabbles Challenge at

charloft. Finally. ^_^ Also, festive prompts/threads have begun!

At

charloft:

{Munday} ~ It's all about you! (30 November)

{Friday} ~ What's in a word? (1 December)

{Friday} ~ You are what you eat (3 December)

{Munday} ~ Wish List (8 December)

{Twosday} ~ The Blame Game (11 December)

100 Drabbles ~~of Summer~~ Challenge (at

charloft; Prompt Table):

Prompt #52 ~ Picture of a full barbeque grill (1 December, 50 of 100)

At

charloft_rpg:

Loft Christmas Market! (10 December) In which Alice visits a shoemaker's stall and happens upon a bakery booth (threads in progress).

Museboxes:

thehouseofmouse: He's Learned a New Song, Gawd Help Us All (8 December) In which Alice attempts to remain calm in the face of a terribly annoying song (that doesn't end). (Thread with

inthistyle in progress.)

Current Mood: okay
Current Music: "The Little Drummer Boy" ~Celtic Woman

I hadn't realised that this fortnight was quite this quiet for Alice. Some of it was because I was busy helping my parents get the house ready for Thanksgiving, &c. ... but I suppose I might have a bit of writer's block as well.

At

charloft:

{Sunday RP} ~ Little Alice (14 November; thread with

ifwebefriends in progress)

At

charloft_rpg:

Halloween at the Loft (31 October) In which Alice dons mythological dress and meets Clay

Museboxes:

thehouseofmouse: Wonderland Condiment Disaster (26 November) In which Alice nibbles biscuits she shouldn't have & finds herself ten inches high. Again. (Thread with

inthistyle in progress.)

Two more things to add (before I nap). Thing the first: I've finally reached 50 drabbles!! (At this rate, I'll be quite pleased if I finish all 100 Drabbles ~~of Summer~~ by year's end, which is my new goal.) I had decided that when I had 50 drabbles written I would start posting them to Fanfiction.net in batches of ten (rather like how I've been posting them here on Alice's journal.) The problem is this: I have no idea what the overall title should be. I'll have to think on it before I post (also, I've never posted anything on FF.net before. It will be a new experience).

Thing the second. I hope I'm not starting to sound like a broken record (because I feel I am & would really hate to be annoying everyone), but do any of you know somewhere else I can advertise my Wonderland game or know of anyone who might be interested in playing? I've already posted on

musemostwanted & have made a few

sixwordstories posts linking to said post without much response (And this makes me a bit discouraged as I've had the comm up for around a month-and-a-half).

But now I must nap. Especially as I have choir practice later & am sleepy.

Current Mood: a bit sleepy
Current Music: "Voyage of the Damned Suite" ~Murray Gold

Yes, this Post of the Fortnight is quite late—one could even say that I skipped the last (scheduled) one as this is a full month after the last Fortnight post. However, I haven't been very active lately ... so if I had made two Fortnight posts, they would have both been quite wee (and this one won't be very long as it is). Also, I have a new OOC icon ::points:: I felt I needed an OOC icon of the lulzy sort. ^_^

Current Music: Bedtime Magic on Magic 106.7

{This one isn't so much a true Prompts of the Fortnight post as it is a "Prompts/threads since the last Prompts of the Fortnight post" (which was three weeks ago). I really ought to be waiting until it is properly the weekend, but I'm leaving for a weekend camping trip with my parents on Friday. Also, it's going to be a very wee post indeed (especially for a three-week Prompt Post) as I'd been spending quite a bit of time editing text, playing with layouts, &c. to get my museboxy game up. (Said game is now open at

6thngsbreakfast, but we only have two players so far so it's not actually running yet.) And I should probably stop typing before my A/N-ish bit becomes longer than the actual post, hee. Also, I feel I need more OOC icons. I might have to work on that.}

{This post will be edited again sometime later this evening—I'm leaving for choir rehearsal in a bit but thought I ought to at least start the Prompts of the Fortnight post ... since I'm late, again. It's not going to be a very long post, however—I've been attempting to work on the musebox &c. (I'm stuck on a name for the comm & a layout for the OOC comm ...)
